Make  sure  the  power  cord  is  positioned  so  that  it 
cannot be damaged by the cutting means and will not 
be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to 
damage or stress.

Never pick up or carry the product by the electric cable.

Never pull the power cord to disconnect from the power 
supply.

Keep  the  power  cord  away  from  heat,  oil,  and  sharp 
edges.

CHAINSAW SAFETY WARNINGS

Keep  all  parts  of  the  body  away  from  the  saw 
chain  when  operating  the  product.  Before  you 
start the chainsaw, make sure the saw chain is not 
contacting  anything.

  A  moment  of  inattention  while 

operating chainsaws may cause entanglement of your 
clothing or body with the saw chain.

Always  hold  the  chainsaw  with  your  right  hand 
on the rear  handle and  your left hand on the  front 
handle.

  Holding  the  chainsaw  with  a  reversed  hand 

configuration  increases  the  risk of  personal injury  and 
should never be done.

Hold  the  power  tool  by  gripping  surface  only, 
because the saw chain may contact hidden wiring 
or  its  own cord. 

  Saw  chains  contacting  a  “live”  wire 

may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” 
and could give the operator an electric shock.

Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further 
protective equipment for head, hands, legs and feet 
is  recommended.

  Adequate  protective  clothing  will 

reduce  personal  injury  by  flying  debris  or  accidental 
contact with the saw chain.

Do  not  operate  a  chainsaw  in  a  tree.

  Operation  of 

a  chainsaw  while  up  in  a  tree  may  result  in  personal 
injury.

Always  keep  proper  footing  and  operate  the 
chainsaw only when standing on fixed, secure and 
level  surface.

  Slippery  or  unstable  surfaces  such  as 

ladders  may cause a loss of balance or control  of the 
chainsaw.

When cutting  a  limb that  is under  tension be  alert 
for spring back.

 When the tension in the wood fibres is 

released the spring loaded limb may strike the operator 
and/or throw the chainsaw out of control.

Use  extreme  caution  when  cutting  brush  and 
saplings.

  The  slender  material  may  catch  the  saw 

chain  and  be  whipped  toward  you  or  pull  you  off 
balance.

Carry  the  chainsaw  by  the  front  handle  with  the 
chainsaw  switched  off  and  away  from  your  body. 
When transporting or storing the chainsaw always 
fit  the  guide  bar  cover.

chainsaw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact 
with the moving saw chain.

Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning 
and  changing  accessories.

  Improperly  tensioned 

or  lubricated  chain  may  either  break  or  increase  the 
chance for kickback.

Keep  handles  dry,  clean,  and  free  from  oil  and 
grease.

 Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss 

of control.

Cut wood only. Do not use chainsaw for purposes 
not  intended.  For  example:  do  not  use  chainsaw 
for  cutting  plastic,  masonry  or  non-wood  building 
materials.

 Use of the chainsaw for operations different 

than intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Causes and operator prevention of kickback:

Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar 
touches an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches 
the saw chain in the cut.

Tip  contact  in  some  cases  may  cause  a  sudden  reverse 
reaction,  kicking  the  guide  bar  up  and  back  towards  the 
operator.

push the guide bar rapidly back towards the operator.

Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of 
the  saw  which  could  result  in  serious  personal  injury.  Do 
not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into your 
saw. As a chainsaw user, you should take several steps to 
keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.

Kickback  is  the  result  of  tool  misuse  and/or  incorrect 
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by 
taking proper precautions as given below:

Maintain  a  firm  grip,  with  thumbs  and  fingers 
encircling  the  chainsaw  handles,  with  both  hands 
on the saw with your body and arms positioned to 
allow you to resist kickback forces.

 Kickback forces 

can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions 
are taken. Do not let go of the chainsaw.

Do  not  overreach  and  do  not  cut  above  shoulder 
height. 

This helps prevent unintended tip contact and 

enables  better  control  of  the  chainsaw  in  unexpected 
situations.

Only  use  replacement  bars  and  chains  specified 
by the manufacturer.

 Incorrect replacement bars and 

chains may cause chain breakage and/or kickback.

ADDITIONAL CHAINSAW SAFETY WARNINGS

It is recommended to cut logs on a saw-horse or cradle 
when operating the product the first time.

Ensure  all  guards,  handles  and  spiked  bumper  are 
properly fitted and are in good condition.

The  product  is  heavy,  so  the  operator  must  be 
physically fit. The operator should be alert, have a good 
vision, mobility, balance, and manual dexterity. If there 
is any doubt, do not operate the product.

Do  not  start  using  the  product  until  you  have  a  clear 
work  area,  secure  footing,  and  a  planned  retreat  path 
away from the falling tree.

Beware of the emission of lubricant mist and saw dust. 
Wear a mask or respirator, if required.

Always  keep  the  power  cable  tidy  and  away  from  the 
area of cutting. Apart from the danger of electrocution, 
untidy cables cause falls and trips.
